Quote: Byron Scott No Longer Surprised by Lester Hudson

After you see it for the second game, you don’t really get surprised the third and fourth and fifth game. I know what he is. I know what type of player he is.

So that’s another step in the process of him staying on this level and I know that’s exactly what he wants to do.

“Any time those two get together, you know it’s going to be a good one,” said Carr. [Read more...]
